The innovations of bowling unfold before your eyes through life-sized replicas, touch-screen kiosks, film montages and interactive games. See the custom bike built by the Tuetel Family and featured on Orange County Choppers program. Talk to a 1920's pinboy with an attitude. See how bowling balls & pins are made. Play on a fully functioning small-ball bowling lane. We set 'em up and you knock 'em down.

I had stayed at a hotel across the street and saw this and wanted to head over. I was a little surprised at the 10.50 entrance fee. I must say I was surprised with the amount of history of the bowling and the interactive exhibits. There were interactive machine on teaching of proper way to bowl. It shows the different...

I did learn that the first bowlers were Egyptian but the museum was way too expensive and I would not have gone except that our company had an event there. Would not suggest this as a destination for travelers.

Its no Cooperstown but its still nice. The history of bowling revealed - it was actually invented by the ancient Egyptians than modified by several Euro countries until America perfected it. The museum is small but still a fun self-guided tour of something different. The gift shop has some unique stuff. You can knock this visit out in one hour...

You don't have to be a bowling buff to enjoy this. They do give a discount if you are a USBC member. The tour gives a good history of bowling from ancient Egypt to the present. They also give you a chance to play some "island" bowling at the end of the tour. I'd highly recommend checking it out even...

This well laid out museum is a hidden gem. Not only does one get history, but it also has "hands on" opportunities for the young and old. It was good to see videos and remember some of the highlights of the game and its legendary people. Loved the duck pin lanes towards the end. Thankful for the display of the...
